Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toilet paper cutter and a toilet paper holder provided with the same.

[0002]

[Prior art and its problems] At present, as the aging society is approaching, measures for the elderly are a major social problem. Many elderly people have one hand incapacitated due to cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral thrombosis, and conventional toilet paper holders have not been adequately adapted. A conventional toilet paper holder comprises a holder main body, a holding shaft for holding a roll paper of the toilet paper, and a toilet paper cutting plate swingably attached to an upper portion of the holder main body. . To cut the toilet paper with the toilet paper holder of this structure, cut in the following order.

One hand lifts the cutting plate, and the other hand picks up the end of the toilet paper to pull out the required length of the toilet paper. When cutting the toilet paper, if you pull it up as it is, the cutting plate will follow up and you will not be able to cut. Therefore, after pressing the cutting plate with one hand to stop the rotation of the roll paper and the follow-up of the cutting plate, the toilet paper is cut at the tip of the cutting plate. In this way, the toilet paper is cut. In other words, it is difficult to cut the toilet paper with one hand because it requires both hands.

In order to solve the above problems of the conventional toilet paper holder, a spring or the like is used to apply a pressing force to the cutting paper against the cutting paper, thereby preventing the roll from rotating and raising the cutting plate. There has been proposed a toilet paper holder that prevents the above-mentioned problem and makes it easier to cut the toilet paper at the tip of the cutting plate. In this holder, the rotation of the roll paper and the rotation (lifting) of the cutting plate are hindered, so that the toilet paper can be cut with one hand. However, since the position of the cut end of the toilet paper overlaps with the tip of the cutting plate during cutting, the tip of the toilet paper cannot be pulled out when it is used next time.

[0005]

It is an object of the present invention to cut toilet paper with one hand, and after cutting the toilet paper,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a toilet paper cutting tool that makes it easy to pull out the toilet paper to be used next and a toilet paper holding tool including the same.

[0006]

The structure of the present invention, which was devised to achieve the above object, is as follows. In the first invention,

And a paper cutting unit for cutting the toilet paper fed from the roll paper at a required length from the folded-back unit, the toilet paper cutting tool.

In the second aspect of the invention, the mounting means is provided with a fitting hole into which the tip of the cutting plate of the toilet paper holder is inserted and fitted, and the paper cutting part is made of rubber or synthetic resin. The toilet paper cutting tool according to the first aspect of the present invention.

In the third aspect of the invention, a cutting tool for cutting the toilet paper is attached to the cutting plate of the toilet paper holder, and the cutting tool is attached to the cutting plate of the toilet paper holder. And a paper cutting section that is located on the upper surface side of the cutting plate and that cuts the toilet paper fed from the roll paper at a required length from the folded back section.

According to the fourth aspect of the invention, the mounting means is provided with a fitting hole into which the tip of the cutting plate of the toilet paper holder is inserted and fitted, and the paper cutting part is made of rubber or synthetic resin. A certain toilet paper holder according to the third invention.

The cutting part provided on the toilet paper cutting tool is usually made of various kinds of rubber or synthetic resin. The position is appropriately set depending on the length of the tip portion of the toilet paper remaining after cutting. Normally, it is about 20 to 30 mm from the folded portion at the tip of the cutting plate on the base side,
It is not limited to this.

The cutting portion is designed so that the toilet paper does not slip when the toilet paper abuts and cuts. For this reason, a material having a large frictional resistance is used, or the surface is made uneven, or formed in a sawtooth shape. From the viewpoint of safety, it is preferable to use a material having a flexibility and a shape that will not cause injury even if it is touched by human hands.

The mounting means may have any shape and material as long as the cutting portion can be mounted on the cutting plate of the toilet paper holder. As the material, various metals such as stainless steel or synthetic resins such as vinyl chloride, polyethylene and polypropylene are usually used. When the toilet paper cutting device has a light cutting plate for the toilet paper holder, it is preferable that the toilet paper cutting device has a certain weight so as not to rise when the toilet paper is folded back. Therefore, when the weight of the cutting portion is light, the weight of the mounting means is made heavy, and when the weight of the cutting portion is heavy, the weight of the mounting means is made light to adjust the weight of the entire toilet paper cutting tool.

[0013]

[Operation] The toilet paper cutting tool is attached to the cutting plate of the toilet paper holder. The end of the toilet paper is picked up and the toilet paper is pulled out, folded back from the tip of the cutting plate and brought into contact with the cutting part. As a result, the toilet paper is fixed to the cutting portion, and when the toilet paper is further pulled in the cutting direction, the toilet paper is cut from the position of the cutting portion.

In the toilet paper, the length from the tip of the cutting plate to the position where it is folded back and comes into contact with the cutting member will hang down from the tip of the cutting plate after cutting.
This portion will be the gripping portion when pulled out next time.
